Major highways (including the Pacific Highway)

The Pacific Highway upgrade is one of the largest road infrastructure projects in NSW. It connects Sydney and Brisbane, and is a major contributor to Australia's economic activity.

The Australian and NSW governments have been jointly upgrading the Pacific Highway to provide a four lane divided road from Hexham to Queensland. Upgrading started in 1996 and 2020 has been identified as the targeted completion.

The New England Highway provides another important freight link between key regional centres within the state's northern region. A number of major projects improving safety and efficiency are being undertaken on this corridor.
